| ABOUT THE GUIDE | MKDG100 |
==========================================================================
This guide is a collective of all the information I could find about
Goro, the Shokan warrior dating back from the first Mortal Kombat
tournament. It is by no means complete, a good FAQ never is, but it
does contain everything I've learned about the character.
This guide, so far, is only to appear on www.gamefaqs.com until I decide
to post it on others sites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| VERSION INFO | MKDG101 |

Version 0.3 - Synced info with Shao Kahn FAQ. Fixed more errors.
Version 0.2 - Fixed a bunch of errors. Added VS Onaga info.
Version 0.1 - Pretty much just started. Added everything I could right
now, plus I'm sure there's going to be some spelling
mistakes. Definitely there will be updates to come.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE | MKDG102 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A growing trend in newer game guides is the use of virtual page numbers.
This has helped incredibly for readers to navigate rather lengthy
guides. Just use your browser's FIND command (Ctrl + F for most) to type
in the "page number" listed. They are listed only twice, in the Table of
Kontents and their respective section, so you can leap directly to a
section.
==========================================================================
| GORO BACKGROUND | MKDG200 |
==========================================================================
Goro is introduced into MK: Deception with the Gamecube release of the
game. This changes a few storyline aspects of the game, as he was not
originally planned for Deception and was percieved dead as far as the
stroyline went.
Place of Origin: Outworld
Alignment: Evil
Allies: Shao Kahn
Foes: Baraka, Kitana, Motaro
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| BACK STORY | MKDG201 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goro was the prince of the Shokan race. He has seven wives (but contrary
to popular belief, Sheeva is not one of them). In an early Mortal Kombat
tournament, Goro won it and became Shang Tsung's champion. To win the
tournament, the challenger would have to defeat Prince Goro. Kung Lao's
ancestor failed at this, and all hope was once lost that Earthrealm
would be lost to Shao Kahn, Tsung's superior.
Mortal Kombat I is the tournament that would have been the final win for
Kahn's forces to rule over Earthrealm, but Liu Kang surprisingly came
and defeated Goro. Shang Tsung challenged Kang but still couldn't beat
him. Goro was thought dead.
Fast forward to the forth tournament, where Shinnok invaded Earthrealm.
Goro reappeared, with allegiance to Kitana's army, to help defeat the
fallen titan as he was a threat to the Shokan race as well as men. This
was not needed as Scorpian defeated Shinnok and took Quan Chi back to
Hell with him.
When Quan Chi and Shang Tsung formed the deadly alliance, Kitana and
Goro once again allied to try and defeat them. Goro was thought dead
and Kitana held a royal funeral for him.
However, it was a false funeral. Goro was actually saved by an old ally,
Shao Kahn. Kahn had no power anymore, as he was on the run from the
Deadly Alliance, and now Onaga, who all thought Kahn had been killed,
though only a clone of Kahn was killed. Kahn asked Goro for partnership
to overthrow Onaga and gain control of Outworld again. In exchange, Kahn
said he would save the Shokan race and banish the Centurian race. Goro
agreed, and a new alliance between him and Kahn was formed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| GORO'S BIOS | MKDG202 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bio 1: "Kitana's army allied with my Shokan warriors in an attempt to
destroy my old master, Shao Kahn. It was rumored that he was
weakening and that our victory was inevitable. During the last
battle against Kano's militia, however, I was attacked from
behind by a shadow warrior, Noob Saibot. I do not know for how
long I lay dying on the battlefield, but when I regained
consciousness, I was greeted by the last person I expected to
see..."
Bio 2: "Shao Kahn found me near death on the battlefield. Though he was
not wearing his battle armor, I recognized his voice. It was
truely him. He used what little power he had left to revive me.
He asked me to join him once again and aid in destroying a
rising power in Outworld. In return, he would give the Shokan
favored status and banish the Centaurs. I accepted his offer. I
placed my royal seal on the disfigured corpse of a fallen Shokan
warrior and together we fled into hiding to regain our strength
for the coming battle."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| GORO'S ENDING | MKDG203 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 1: "Goro had regained control of his shokan army and fought to
cleanse Outworld of the Dragon King's tarkatan horde. Though
the tarkata are formidable adversaries, they were no match for
an army of shokan, inspired as they were by regaining Shao
Kahn's favor. Baraka's troops were quickly defeated."
Scene 2: "Goro had proven himself a powerful ally of the emperor. But
Shao Kahn had given the shokan much in his return to power.
Goro felt a gift of loyalty was in order. The Edenian military
had been crushed and Kitana herself had been captured. Goro
brought her before Shao Kahn and sacrificed her as an offering
of fealty to the once and future emperor of Outworld."
==========================================================================
| PLAYING AS GORO | MKDG300 |
==========================================================================
Goro has two fighting styles and a weapon style, just like all of the
other kombatant characters. However, he has lots of tricky kombos and
is just good for pounding your opponent with shear strength. He has
all four of his moves from Trilogy and MK4/Gold, including Kintaro's
stomp and the Trilogy-added Spinning Slap, which originally appeared
as a glitch in MK1.

| GORO VS ONAGA | MKDG305 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any of Goro's fighting styles, including Dragon Claws, seem to be really
effective against Onaga. Spinning Slaps also works well. Goro is big and
strong enough to just walk up to Onaga and beat him to death. Be sure to
collect the six Kamidogu to create oppertunities to whack Onaga.
==========================================================================
| FIGHTING AGAINST GORO | MKDG400 |
==========================================================================
Goro is a boss character, for the most part. The definition of a boss
character in MK games is a big, strong character with few kombos and
some gimmicky moves. Goro is no exception, and the key to easily
defeating him is mastering how to avoid his moves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| NORMAL CHARACTERS VS GORO | MKDG401 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fighting Goro, the thing you have to watch out for is the brute force
of his normal punches and kicks. You also do not want to be caught in
his throw move, his classic Chest Pound, which can shave off a good
portion of your health in one swoop. Try to keep a distance and hit
him with projectiles, or stun him and kombo him. Do not try to kombo
him without stunning him or you risk getting chest-pounded.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| GORO VS GORO | MKDG402 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If playing as Goro, you have the advantage of the brute strength in his
regular punches and kicks. Just get up close and beat the snot out of
him. If you keep at it, he won't have a chance to Chest Pound you.

| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS | MKDG503 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is with the middle question mark box?
A. No one knows yet. Who knows what secrets the box holds in addition
to being a random select. The addition of a box just for random
select seems suspicious.
2. Can I play Gamecube's Mortal Kombat: Deception online?
A. There's no online function. Since there is no broadband LAN
ability either, don't expect a 3rd-party tunneling tool like
what appeared for Mario Kart: Double Dash or Halo 1.
3. Where can I see Goro, Onaga or Shao Kahn in Puzzle Kombat?
A. As soon as I get pics taken, they will always be posted at the
web site stated at the top of this FAQ.
4. Anything Goro-related for the hidden/glitch Koffin WQ?
A. Being the hidden/glitch Koffin WQ appears in the PS2 and Xbox
versions of the game as well, I doubt they have anything to do with
Goro, if they have any kontent at all.
5. Does Goro appear in the line-up in Arcade mode?
A. I'm sure he does, but I have not seen him yet. Contrary to popular
speculation, he does not replace Noob-Smoke as the secondary boss.
6. Didn't Goro die at the end of MK1?
A. According to the storyline up to MK4, yes. But they brought him back
in MK4, this time on neutral side. In his (Kung Lao's) ending, he
decides to side with Kitana, and the whole Shokan race joins on the
side of good. According to MK4/Gold, he was merely "defeated" by
Liu Kang in MK1, not killed.
7. Didn't Goro die somewhere in MK: Deadly Alliance?
A. According to Kitana's ending, yes. But in the Gamecube MK:D, they
changed it so Goro put his emblem on a fallen Shokan warrior before
he sided with Kahn. Kitana mistaken the battered Shokan as Goro only
because it had the royal emblem on it. In Kitana's MK:DA ending, she
now technically gave the funeral to a random Shokan, not Goro.
8. Is Goro really back to the evil side?
A. Technically, no. Both Goro and Shao Kahn are on the run, per say.
Kahn is definitely evil, but at the moment has no power. Goro teamed
up with Kahn only in hopes that their efforts could help save the
Shokan race from Onaga. For the purposes of this game, they are
helping each other because they were once allies and both have no
political power anymore. His main concern, in every game, is the
safety of the Shokan race. He's their ruler, afterall. Watch his
ending for more details.
9. Does Goro still appear in the Prison stage?
A. Yeah. They didn't bother to remove Goro or Kahn's 3D models for
the Prison stage, even though they look a lot different.
10. Does Goro appear in Konquest with a training mode?
A. I'm not sure yet. I haven't come across him yet in Konquest, if he's
even there at all.
11. Does Goro exist in Puzzle Kombat?
A. No. Unlike Onaga, Kung Lao, Liu Kang and others who do seem to have
unlockable (with Action Replay) Puzzle Fighter models, it seems
Midway did not bother to put in a Puzzle Fighter model for Goro.
